To celebrate the debut of iZombie season three tonight on The CW I am sharing a recipe I originally debuted during the finale of season two. With the brand new poster showcasing a blue brain, I created a new variation for tonight.
This recipe originally was posted on the iZombie Support Group site, but my recipes for this new season will all be appearing here on The Nerdy Girl Express.
Ingredients and Supplies:
8 packets unflavored gelatin (I used Knox Brand)
1 standard size box white chocolate pudding (I used Jello Brand)
1 cup cold water
2 cups boiling water
1 cup room temperature skim milk
4 drops red food coloring
1 Brain Mold
Step One: Bring two cups water to a boil on the stove
Step Two: While water is coming to a boil take eight packets of gelatin, empty them into a medium sized bowl
Step Three: Add one cup cold water to gelatin powder, stir until roughly the consistency of applesauce
Step Four: Add two cups of boiling water to gelatin mixture, stir until fully dissolved
Step Five: Let liquid gelatin cool for 30 minutes
Step Six: After 30 minutes has passed take 1 cup room temperature skim milk and pour into medium size bowl
Step Seven: Add one standard package of white chocolate pudding mix
Step Eight: Stir up mix and milk, but do not let it firm up, it is easier to add to the gelatin in a liquid state
Step Nine: Add four drops of red food coloring (for this season three version I used 4 drops of neon blue food coloring) to liquid gelatin and stir until it is entirely red
Step Ten: Pour liquid pudding into gelatin and stir until fully incorporated
Step Eleven: Pour mixture into brain mold
Step Twelve: Leave mold in refrigerator uncovered for 24 hours
Step Thirteen: Remove mold from fridge
Step Fourteen: Get a large bowl and fill roughly a third to halfway full with warm water
Step Fifteen: Sit mold in water for 15-20 seconds
Step Sixteen: Take a pointed knife and run the tip along the edges of the brain to loosen it from the mold
Step Seventeen: Get a plate, turn brain mold over and shake mildly vigorously until the brain pops out
Ta da!
